Mr ROberts,

Your allegations that an M20 is not faster than the new Tornado are wrong. Did you see the results of the ISAF Evaluation event? The M20 won every race, I believe, and by large margins, over the world's best offerings of cats suitable for the Olympics. Lightweight is critical. Allows tighter tacking angles, better acceleration, faster downwind speeds, etc etc. A designer of your experience should know this. Tisk tisk
